Searching for Shalom

We're all searching for something.

Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn’t make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.

AMEN.

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Very wise words.  Lets not forget this message.

….well, i’m certainly not going to now. after that kind of persuasive aggression. 

I may have just sat on my bed and laughed until I cried while watching this… I hope you find it as amusing as I did.

You’re dazzling.

Pep talk: There is nothing more beautiful than high self-esteem. As you go about your business tonight, believe that you’re dazzling.  Have no doubt that you are. You will enchant all those you encounter with your charm and confidence.

Today remind yourself: I’m dazzling.

Peace Corps

Peace Corps.

When I think about the possibility of it I get super scared, super excited, and super hopeful. I have been thinking about the Peace Corps for a few years now, but I always push the idea away because it scares me so much. But when I really think about it, it is kind of what makes the most sense for my life, and when I can put my fear aside I feel like it is something I am supposed to do. When things resurface in your life over and over and over again it has to mean something, right?

The good news is that it isn’t on my plate of things to worry about for this next year. I can still take my year and spend it in Nashville, but I really think that at some point in my future I will join the Peace Corps.

Saying those words scares me. A LOT. But I am determined to not let fear drive my life.

Circle of life.

I want one sooooo baaaaaaaaaaaad!

I want one sooooo baaaaaaaaaaaad!

Wow. This is awesome, terrifying, and stupid all at the same time.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
